    CONSCIENCE

    SUBJECTIVE NORM OF
    MORALITY
    "Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid
    upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love
    and to do what is good and to avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right
    His
    moment. . . . For man has in his heart a law inscribed by God. . . .
    conscience is man's most secret core and his
    sanctuary. There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his
    depths."
    #1776 Catechism of the Catholic Church
    Moral conscience, present at the heart of the person, enjoins him at the
    appropriate moment to do good and to avoid evil. It also judges particular
    choices, approving those that are good and denouncing those that are evil.
    It bears witness to the authority of truth in reference to the supreme Good to
    which the human person is drawn, and it welcomes the commandments.
    When he listens to his conscience, the prudent man can hear God
    speaking.
    #1777 Catechism of the Catholic Church
    Conscience is a judgment of reason whereby the human person
    recognizes the moral quality of a concrete act that he is going to perform,
    is in the process of performing, or has already completed. In all he says
    and does, man is obliged to follow faithfully what he knows to be just and
    right. It is by the judgment of his conscience that man perceives and
    recognizes the prescriptions of the divine law.
    #1778 Catechism of the Catholic Church
    It is important for every person to be sufficiently present to himself in order
    to hear and follow the voice of his conscience. This requirement of
    interiority is all the more necessary as life often distracts us from any
    reflection, self-examination or introspection.
    #1779 Catechism of the Catholic Church
    Conscience includes the perception of the principles of morality; their
    application in the given circumstances by practical discernment of reasons
    and goods; and finally judgment about concrete acts yet to be performed or
    already performed.
    #1780 Catechism of the Catholic Church
    Conscience enables one to assume responsibility for the acts performed.
    In attesting to the fault committed, it calls to mind the forgiveness that must
    be asked, the good that must still be practiced, and the virtue that must be
    constantly cultivated with the grace of God.
    #1781 Catechism of the Catholic Church
    Conscience must be informed and moral judgment enlightened. A well-
    formed conscience is upright and truthful. It formulates its judgments
    according to reason, in conformity with the true good willed by the
    wisdom of the Creator. The education of conscience is indispensable for
    human beings who are subjected to negative influences and tempted by
    sin to prefer their own judgment and to reject authoritative teachings.

    #1783 Catechism of the Catholic Church


    The education of the conscience is a lifelong task. From the earliest years,
    it awakens the child to the knowledge and practice of the interior law
    recognized by conscience. Prudent education teaches virtue; it prevents or
    cures fear, selfishness and pride, resentment arising from guilt, and
    feelings of complacency, born of human weakness and faults.

    #1784 Catechism of the Catholic Church


    In the formation of conscience the Word of God is the light for our path, we
    must assimilate it in faith and prayer and put it into practice. We must also
    examine our conscience before the Lord's Cross. We are assisted by the gifts
    of the Holy Spirit, aided by the witness or advice of others and guided by the
    authoritative teaching of the Church.
    # 1785 Catechism of the Catholic Church
    Ignorance of Christ and his Gospel, bad example given by others,
    enslavement to one's passions, assertion of a mistaken notion of
    autonomy of conscience, rejection of the Church's authority and her
    teaching, lack of conversion and of charity: these can be at the source of
    errors of judgment in moral conduct.
